66 -- RAMS FIRST BREATH METABOLIC TEST SYSTEM SOL 9BH233510P DUE 070695 POC KENNETH ADAMS, Tel:713-244-5152 Contracting Officer:VIRGINIA THOMPSON, Tel:713-483-8506 Pursuant to FAR 6.3 other than full and open competition, NASA JSC proposes to acquire the services of Marquette Electronics, Inc. for 3 RAMS (Random Access Mass Spectrometer) First Breath Metabolic Test Systems identical to the software and hardware being manufactured for flight on NAS/Mir and Shuttle Spacelab Missions. The systems shall have quadrupole mass spectrometers capable of measuring any mass to charge ratio in the range of 1-250 AMU. The systems shall also be configured to measure up to sixteen gases simultaneously. The systems shall maintain vacuum for 30 days without power and shall not contain an internal roughing pump. The performance specifications shall be; Resolution: 1 AMU as measured by 10% of peak height, Sensitivity: (36 ppm, Accuracy: (250 ppm electrometer), all gases: +/-0.25% absolute from 0-20%, +/-0.50% absolute, from 20.1 to 100%, Stability: (250 ppm electrometer), breath-to -breath: +/-0.1% absolute, daily: +/-0.25% absolute, monthly: +/-0.75 absolute, Response time: (250 ppm electrometer) 90% rise time in less than 100msec, Lag time: (250 ppm electrometer) variable with flow rate and catheter length and diameter, and Inlet sample: flow rate adjustable from 10-250 ml/min. Delivery and system check out must be completed within 90 days of the date of contract award. The solicitation will be released via the NABB (NASA Acquisition Bulletin Board). All offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation. Hard copies of the solicitation will be available upon request, however, the closing date is the same as that required for the NABB released solicitation. The projected solicitation release date is July 7, 1995. It is the offeror's responsiblity to monitor the NABB for the release of the solicitation as the solicitation may be released prior or subsequent to the projected solicitation release date. Questions regarding this solicitation should be directed to Kenneth Adams at 713-244-5152 or by electronic mail through Internet at Kadams.BA1.JSC.NASA.GOV. This procurement is being conducted under the NASA/JSC Midrange Test Program approved by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy on April 16, 1993. A Firm-Fixed Price contract is contemplated. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by NASA/JSC. See Note 22. (0164)
